Our read on FLTR
One of the first corporate floating-rate note ETFs to list, back in April 2011. Coupons reset periodically, so rate sensitivity stays minimal, and its index can hold notes maturing anywhere from 6 months out to 30 years.
The fund seeks to track the MVIS US Investment Grade Floating Rate Index before fees and expenses. The index comprises U.S.-dollar floating-rate notes from investment-grade corporate issuers.
Why people hold it
- Floating coupons reset periodically, so the portfolio carries little interest-rate duration while staying in investment-grade corporate credit.vaneck.com
- Index rules run wide: USD notes from investment-grade corporate issuers, at least $300 million outstanding, 6 months to 30 years to maturity.marketvector.com
- 0.14% a year, a shade under the typical fee in its short-duration IG corporate group, spread across about 400 notes with monthly distributions.
- Has tracked its named index closely, and sits in the top quartile of its short-duration investment-grade corporate peer group.
Worth knowing
- Rate duration is near zero, credit risk is not: these are corporate notes, and floating-rate issuance skews toward banks and financial firms.files.marketvector.com
- Plain short-term corporate funds cost far less (VCSH at 0.03%, IGSB at 0.04%), though they take on the rate duration this one sheds.
- Income floats. Coupons reset with short-term rates, so the monthly payout moves up and down with them.vaneck.com
